The over 10-minute-long fireworks left people dazzled.
In over 10 minutes, Gu Chenan didn't stop for a second, and the two went from dry kissing to French kissing.
Of course, the gentleman Gu Chenan wasn't trying to take advantage of her, he just wanted to make sure they kissed long enough for the reporters to get photos.
Soon the fireworks ended and the night sky sank into darkness again.
Gu Chenan slowly let go of Xiao Yajie, somewhat embarrassedly said: "I couldn't hear you over the noise just now, so I just..."
Xiao Yajie nodded: "I know."
After speaking, she unconsciously pursed her lips.
"Alright, that's enough, let's eat." Gu Chenan sat back down at the dinner table.
...
An hour later, the two finished their meal and walked out of the hotel.
The reporters below the hotel snapped a few pictures of them leaving, and as the convoy drove away, the reporters also rushed back to their respective companies to file their stories.
Just as Gu Chenan was sending Xiao Yajie back to the Xiao family, news from Suzhou and Hangzhou popped up on his phone.
The headline was about him taking Xiao Yajie to dine under the Lotus Pond Moonlight... In the news photos was a picture of them kissing passionately.
Seeing the photos in the news, Gu Chenan's mouth curved up slightly.
This way, all of Suzhou and Hangzhou would know about it tomorrow.
And Lin Yu would definitely make a move against him!
After all, a cooked duck flying away was the most intolerable thing for the dragon king!
...
In a villa halfway up a hill in the suburbs of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Just as Lin Yu was chatting happily with a woman he had just met, a news alert suddenly popped up on his phone.
"The young miss of the Xiao family actually went to a hotel with him alone..."
Lin Yu didn't get to read the rest, he just saw the first few words and immediately sat up from the sofa, then clicked into the news.
Looking at the article, his brows furrowed tightly.
He scrolled on his phone a few times, and a photo of Gu Chenan and Xiao Yajie passionately kissing under the dazzling fireworks appeared.
Bang!
He stared wide-eyed, stunned for a moment, then smashed his fist on the coffee table, smashing one corner into powder.
"Gu Chenan! Again you!" He gnashed his teeth, eyes bloodshot.
"What's wrong Mr. Lin?"
Hearing the commotion, Old Dao walked out of the room and hurriedly asked when he saw a corner of the coffee table smashed: "What happened?"
Lin Yu was so angry he was panting. After a few big breaths to calm himself down, he said: "Come with me to kill someone!"
Old Dao nodded: "OK, when?"
Lin Yu gritted his teeth and thought for a moment: "Notify everyone to stand by at all times."
Old Dao was shocked and quickly asked: "Mr. Lin, the assassins have figured out the Xiao family's security, they'll make a move against Xiao Jian these few days. Now you also..."
He didn't finish speaking when Lin Yu raised his hand to stop him.
"The Xiao family head can be killed anytime, but Gu Chenan must die tomorrow!" Lin Yu said viciously.
Seeing Lin Yu so adamant, Old Dao didn't say anything more, just nodded: "OK, got it."
...
The Xiao family.
As soon as Xiao Yajie walked into the main hall, Xiao Jian immediately walked over.
"Yajie, Gu Chenan didn't do anything to you, did he?" Xiao Jian asked with concern.
With this question from Xiao Jian, Xiao Yajie immediately thought of the warmth on her lips earlier.
Her cheeks instantly turned red, and she shook her head: "No...nothing."
"That's good, that's good." Xiao Jian let out a breath.
If Gu Chenan had taken advantage of his daughter for his own sake, Xiao Jian would have regretted it to death.
"Then...did Gu Chenan mention the next step of the plan?" Xiao Jian asked.
Xiao Yajie shook her head: "He didn't say."
Then added: "But he did say to wait for his message tomorrow, that if it goes smoothly tomorrow we can catch those assassins."
Hearing this, Xiao Jian was overjoyed, nodding repeatedly: "Good, good!"
"I'm going back to my room first." Xiao Yajie waved her hand and went upstairs.
"Hear that?"
At this time, Xiao Jian looked smugly at the people from the ancient martial arts circles standing outside the main hall.
A few people walked in with solemn and somewhat doubtful expressions.
"This... can't be, right? We've been busy for half a month and haven't accomplished what Gu Chenan claims he can do in two days?"
"Gu Chenan just arrived in Suzhou today, but he says he can catch Black Owl's assassins tomorrow, isn't that a bit too fast?"
"Tsk tsk, I feel like something's not right here!"
The people from the ancient martial arts circles didn't dare believe Gu Chenan's claim that the assassins could be caught tomorrow.
Let alone anything else, just the fact that he borrowed Xiao Yajie for a bit to accomplish this was simply impossible.
What magic does Xiao Yajie have that could make Black Owl's assassins show up?
What, is she a psychic?
So the people from the ancient martial arts circles didn't half believe and half doubt Gu Chenan's claim, they simply didn't believe it at all.
They just didn't say it outright out of respect for Xiao Jian's face.
"Hmph."
Xiao Jian let out a cold snort and arrogantly said: "The fact that Mr. Gu was willing to come from the East China Sea to Suzhou to help me shows that he really is a kind and charitable person."
"Yajie also said that Mr. Gu didn't take advantage of her, so perhaps the rumors about Mr. Gu were false transmissions after all."
Everyone looked at each other, then smiled awkwardly.
"Maybe so."
"Master, look at this!"
Just then, the Xiao family butler rushed out of the room in a panic.
Xiao Jian glanced at him: "What's the hurry?"
The butler didn't waste words, and held up his phone in front of Xiao Jian: "Gu Chenan must have ulterior motives!"
Xiao Jian looked at the phone, and his brows immediately jumped up.
On the phone screen Gu Chenan was passionately kissing Xiao Yajie!
"This, this..."
"Yajie, Yajie, tell me honestly, what did that licentious Gu Chenan do to you?!"
Xiao Jian turned pale with fright and hurried towards Xiao Yajie's room.
The rest of the people in the main hall were baffled, looking at each other not knowing what was going on.
Huh?
What happened?
Just a second ago Xiao Jian firmly said the rumors about Gu Chenan were false, how did he suddenly change his tune?
Ding dong~
Just as everyone was wondering, someone's phone rang.
Then all of their phones rang one after another.
Everyone took out their phones and their eyes bulged when they saw the screens.
Holy crap!
Gu Chenan actually passionately kissed Miss Xiao at the Lotus Pond Moonlight, and they were photographed by reporters?!
If this got out, tomorrow all of Suzhou and Hangzhou would know!
Gu Chenan's reputation was notorious, while Miss Xiao was known as a good girl in Suzhou and Hangzhou. The news of Gu Chenan kissing Miss Xiao would definitely become the hottest gossip in Suzhou and Hangzhou!
"Hehehe, I knew Gu Chenan was up to no good, can't believe the Xiao family head actually believed him."
"Tsk tsk, the Xiao family head was too careless, actually letting this happen between Gu Chenan and Miss Xiao."
"Sigh, after this happens, I'm afraid no one will dare pursue Miss Xiao anymore!"
"It's over, looks like Gu Chenan's claim about catching Black Owl's assassins tomorrow is probably fake too. His purpose from the start was Miss Xiao..."
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, but felt secretly delighted inside.
Xiao Jian, didn't you think we couldn't accomplish what Gu Chenan could?
Well now what?
Your daughter has been led away!
